West Ham United are on the verge of agreeing a move to the Olympic Stadium,
according to David Gold, their co-chairman.

The East London club’s long wait to secure a switch to the £429 million venue
could by ended as early as March 16, following talks with the London Legacy
Development Corporation (LLDC) which were described as “positive” by Boris
Johnson, the London Mayor.

“I think we’re close. It’s only what I’m being promised. As we speak I’m being
promised March 16,” Gold said. “We would sign the agreement then.”
